The Greatest
PAPER FORMAT
Twelve of the country’s most renowned sportswomen get out of their comfort zones and compete in a series of sports they’ve never played, to see who is The Greatest.
-
Twelve of the country’s top female athletes — from Olympic swimmers to WSL football stars — leave their comfort zones to compete in sports they’ve never played before. From dodgeball to darts, table tennis to kayaking, each week brings a surprise challenge and a dramatic new test of skill, instinct, and adaptability.
With just seven days to train, contestants work with specialist coaches to master the basics before competing in front of a live audience, with expert commentary and plenty of pre-match trash talk. Each episode ends with points awarded, one contestant eliminated, and a few twists — including wildcards and immunity — thrown into the mix.
Over six episodes, rivalries build and sporting legends are pushed to their limits. In the live finale, the final six go head-to-head to decide who takes home the trophy — and the title of The Greatest.
